Horseback Ride

The equestrian climbs atop the painted colt. Avoiding a saddles restrictions she rides the horse bareback to combine their energies, making them as one. The thoroughbred begins to trot. Gradually increasing the pace. Each step, each movement becomes an extension of the rider. From trot, to canter, to gallup. As the thoroughbred reaches it's instructed gait, a feeling of freedom arises within me. Feeling free, like an eagle in flight as he soars high across the azure sky. The rhythmic gallop of the horses hooves like a hypnotists metronome, puts me into a restful, relaxed state. The scenery blurs as the speed increases. Our destination quickly draws near. From gallup to canter to trot our time together comes to an end until the next time we take a ride again take care my dear, equine friend. 5/21/2020
